Noor Vest is worked top down in stockinette stitch. First the back piece is worked in rows with increases to shape the shoulders. Thereafter, you pick up stitches for right and left front piece, which are worked separately in rows, while the neckline is shaped. Once the front yoke is finished, the body is worked in the round, before it is divided again for the ribbing. Vents on both sides. The ribbing is worked back and forth with selvedge stitches and cast off with the Italian method. Stitches for the short sleeves are picked up around the armhole opening and are shaped with short rows (German Short Rows). Finally, you pick up stitches for the ribbing at the neckline which is then folded double.
